The Terrible Experience of Tive
Young Men From This City I'm the
WoodstOck Railroad Horror-The
survivors, Story.
John 3. Shull, Palladium compositor who
was on the Inflated train which met with
such terrible disaster at White River juno
ton, Vt, Saturday morning, returned to this
city Saturday evening and reported the death
of his companion, L. B. James. also a Palla-
dunn compoaitor. The two occupied berth
in the forward sleeper, Shull lying next to
the window. He tells vivid story of the
awful affair. The rolling over. of the car
made him faint and sick and he lost con-
seriousness. When he came to he made q
desperate struggle to free himself from the
debris which pinned him down. He was
materially assisted by A. B. Veasie, a Dart
mouth student. Shull called James name
again and again, but received no answer.
Assisted by the student he made strenuous
efforts to rescue his companion and worked
desperately until driven off by the flames.
Mercifully the fire spread until in less than
half an hour from its start the cars and the
three hundred foot bridge were a mass of
ruins, and an awful silence followed the cries
of the unfortunate victims. I took a train
for Springfield during the day. There tel
egraphed to James father.
Louis B. James, the unfortunate victim of
the accident, was man about twenty-six
years of age, son of the editor of the Them
aston Gazette, member of the New Haven
Grays, of Wooster lodge No. 70, F. and A.
M, of the Printers Protective Fraternity
No. and one of it's board of trustees, and
of the New Haven gymnasium. He was
about five feet ten inches in height, wore a
mustache, had good intellectual features and
was remarkably well liked by all who knew
him. He had good head, was reserved in
manner except to his friends, was ambitious,
temperate and saving. He was a good
talker, logical and interesting. The young
mans father at once proceeded to the scene
of the disaster after receiving Snull's tele-
gram. Shull is under the care of DIR. Mail
house. He is suffering from a deep scalp
wound on the head over the left temple.
The fingers on both his hands and the toes
of both feet are frost-bitten. There are
other but less painful wounds on the elbow
and thigh. The injured man was resting
quite comfortably last evening.

bers Added I'm Various Churches.
AT the United church yesterday morning
Rev. DR.. Munger preached very interesting
discourse. The certainty of guilt and evil
being detected and punished was one of the
leading thoughts of the sermon. The pastor
announced that the young people of the
church would hold social in the chapel next
Thursday evening.
DWIGHT PLACE CHURCH.
DIR. Twitchell preached in the morning
upon the "Heirship of the kingdom. ]" Touch
ing upon the law of natural heredity, he
brought out the Importance of the character
which is to be handed down in greater or
less degree to our children. Going on from
this he showed how God had handed down
to MS his own character to the extent to
which we will allow it to develop; he has
bestowed upon us, more than all, his love
and his atonement for our transgressions.
Again his assisting grace, an unmeritsd as
eistance. We are joint heirs with Christ
though SO unworthy such impartial benefi-
eenee. We may all be enrolled as heirs in
Gods will If we refuse not the favor. The
tspeopl'es service" in the evening was a very
attractive one. The subject of the short talk
0Y the pastor was GU AM !, ana emphA-
sized the Importance of the relations we bear
to each other our daily life and the value of
the golden rule in those relations. He touched
in this connection upon the labor question,
and was very happy throughout The music,
a. usual at these services, was especially
charming.

They are handy with their sunshades.
The brown satin cushions receive their

the Row in London in the Park at New

Eyes, but my pipe gets so strong"
That's no reason why you should
smoke cigarettes.
But, doctor, can't afford to. smoke
cigars" urged the young man, whose
family physician was lecturing him for
INDUCING in the cigarette habit.
There is no need of that. either
Il don't see how you make that out"
replied the youth.
You can smoke pipe that never gets
strong"
'Yes. but 1 don't like Turkish pipes.
They are cumbersome and the long stem
is always in the way"
Il don't mean that kind of a pipe. I
mean meerschaum.
''Meerschaum! Why, l have had
dozen. and they always get strong"
There is where you are mistaken. A
meerschaum pipe that is properly smoked
never gets strong, but the stem does.
Change the stem once or twice i'll an
evening. Use waxel-root stems. They
keep sweet longer than any other wood
in the world. -
That's all right about the stem. but
how do you keep the bowls from getting
strong:'
by properly coloring them. Use
button in the bottom of the bowl. That
will prevent the pipe from being burnt.
Then take care not to smoke fast enough
to overhead the pipe. The porous mate
rial will absorb the nicotine, and the
longer it is smoked the sweeter it is.
Try it once. and if you don't prefer it to
a cigarette I'll pay for the pipe. New
